thanks for joining us. this is rainwater .. collected from the roof and sent through underground pipes into this 1500 gallon tank rainwater collected from the roof flows through the gutters and into the underground pipes. then these hoses. carry water from the cistern to the plants. harvesting rainwater cuts down on run-off into the sewers & could save an average of 50% on your water bill! now that makes sense.

that message goes like this: if you attack us, you will make us stronger. we will come together, rise with resilience, and emerge more prepared and resolved. unfortunately, in this election season, few voters are thinking about our role in the world or our role on these matters. in fact, in the spring reuters asked registered voters what issues were most important to them in the presidential election campaign. guess how many said foreign policy? three percent. that's compared to 53 percent for jobs in the economy, 14 for health care, and nine for family values. the chicago council's new survey underscores this trend in public thinking. in fact, 38 percent of americans polled among the highest levels ever recorded since the council's 1974 survey during the vietnam war says that the u.s. should stay out of world affairs. and the number of people who support an active role in world affairs has also dropped significantly; from 71 percent in 2002 to 61 percent today. the isolationist trend worries me especially. and it poses the issue of how should the white hou
